Y... lo haremos de una manera un poco diferente esta vez. ¡tambores, por favor! Les presentamos Port of Entry Shorts: cápsulas de video cortas que dan vida a nuestras historias transfronterizas de una manera nueva y fresca, ¡a través del video! Para inaugurar este nuevo formato, comenzamos con dos videos: uno protagonizado por Charles y el otro por Giancarlo. Estas cápsulas se estrenaron originalmente el otoño pasado en nuestro evento en vivo y son parte de un paquetazo de cinco episodios que incluye este episodio, además de las dos partes de nuestro evento en vivo. ¡Esperamos que disfruten estos cinco episodios! ¡Nos vemos pronto! P.S.S. También participaremos en algunos eventos públicos para hablar sobre la creación de podcasts y nuestro estilo de narrativa. Intersection 2025
